Parans Natural Lighting


"A room is not a room without natural light. Natural light gives mood to space by the nuances of light in the time of the day and the seasons of the year as it enters and modifies the space."
Louis Kahn

A Swedish company has developed a natural lighting system which transports sunlight into internal rooms using fiber optic cables that are connected to a collecting panel, placed on the roof of a structure. Internally the cables are connected to a luminaire block which has a mixture of parallel light beams and ambient light. The system can create a natural atmosphere in a room absent of exterior fenestration, re-establishing a connection with the outside environment. The product has reminiscence of more primitive methods such as reflecting light though mirrors similar to a periscope.
